The recent PFL event featuring Jon Jones and Francis Ngannou, two of the top heavyweights in the world, was a major tease for fans eagerly awaiting a potential fight between the two. Unfortunately, Ngannou’s move from UFC to PFL likely means that a cross-promotional bout is out of the question.

Despite this, the staredown between the two was telling, with Daniel Cormier noting that Jones showed no fear and exuded the same confidence as he did in their own confrontations.

The Jones-Cormier rivalry is one of the most memorable in MMA, with their two fights resulting in a unanimous decision win for Jones and a no-contest. PFL’s recent event will likely be as close as fans will ever get to seeing Jones and Ngannou in the octagon together.
